lyrics

On this dawning of a new day my dear
I didn't know that I could not fly
I didn't know that you were not here by my side
I was still in my dreams from the night

And I wonder as I so often do
Where I went wrong today
Started off so, so good
But so soon to fade

I'd drive a million miles
To start over again
All told this lonely road is my
Only friend

Fools say it will get better some day
It will work out for the best
Old wives spin new lies to
Relieve their stress

And I didn't want to die,
Just wished that I were dead
Better than an unlived life
With unlived dreams in my head

There's still this question why
It started off so nice
Sweet like sugar and spice
'Til the day came along took it all away
I guess that's how it goes
Just ebbs and ebbs and flows
Some day I pray I'll know
Why it has to be this way

And all these dreams, so pure and sweet
Are better than the body of me
And I wish that I could show you
Without being seen

In ancient lore the winding road
Was richer than the pot of gold
'Cause everything that shines will turn so ugly...

Start talking, keep walking
We're gonna get this figured out
I blew it, you knew it,
But we can work it out

And now you know about this bad seed in me
It keeps me rooted in reality

See I've been thinking 'bout gold, thinking 'bout gold,
'Thinking bout gold
I've been thinking 'bout gold, thinking 'bout gold,
'Thinking bout gold

Made from a lead stone, made from a lead stone
I've been thinking 'bout gold, thinking 'bout gold,
Thinking 'bout...

The Liz O Show San Francisco, California

Fiesty, fiery, sassy, sweet, with the guitar riffs of an old soul bluesman and the confidence of a pop star, with lyrics as full of stories as Joni Mitchell's, and flamboyance to rival Janis Joplin's, and a world that is a colorful, surreal children's playroom come to life, Liz O is a rising force in San Francisco.

It's a party that doesn't stop, and the whole world is invited to the show!
